<p style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:22px"><strong>P</strong><strong>UBLIC AWARENESS OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM IS THE FIRST STEP IN FIGHTING BACK!</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:5.0pt"><span style="font-size:16px">The next few PSAC Updates will explore <strong>Fraud Against Senior Citizens </strong>and provide knowledge that can assist the reader, no matter what their age. Seniors are targets of scams (definition - a fraudulent or deceptive act), because they:</span></p>
<ul style="margin-left:40px"><li><span style="font-size:16px">Have a nest egg.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">They have a mortgage that is paid off.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">They have mutual funds that are coming due.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">They have investments that have grown over time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">They have cash readily available.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">They are reluctant to report the crime because of embarrassment, shame, or fear of retaliation (a false belief because once someone finds out the police are involved, they go underground and hide). Unfortunately, sometimes the person committing the fraud is a family member or someone they know and love and depend on, and they are afraid they will lose their relationship with the only person in their life, if they report them.</span></li>

<p style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:22px"><strong>P</strong><strong>rotecting Against I.D. Theft</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:5.0pt"><span style="font-size:16px">First and foremost <strong>PROTECT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER! </strong>Here are important ways which <strong><u>everyone</u></strong>, should both know about and practice every day:</span></p>
<ul style="margin-left:40px"><li><span style="font-size:16px">If you have a Medicare or Veterans Administration Card, the number on that card is your Social Security Number and when you go to an event or place where age is a qualifying factor and someone asks you to show your Medicare Card, etc., that person may be copying down your Social Security Number. You need to guard that number and put tape over it so no one can easily see it. <strong>That is how people steal your identity! </strong>Once criminals have your name and Social Security Number, they can get credit. <strong>UNLESS YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A MEDICAL FACILITY OR PHYSICIAN RELATIONSHIP, <strong><strong>T</strong><strong>H</strong><strong>E</strong><strong>R</strong><strong>E IS NO NEED TO SHOW YOUR MEDICARE OR VETERANS ADMINISTATION CARD – EVER!</strong></strong></strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">If you have your Social Security Number on your checks, order new checks without the number on them.</span>
<ul><li><span style="font-size:16px">Use your driver’s license number when asked for identification! That’s how bad checks are tracked by law enforcement agencies and using a driver’s license number for identification purposes, presents no problems to you.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">When you pay your credit card bills by check, don’t put your full credit card number on the check. You can, if necessary, put the last 4 digits on the check, <strong>however <u>it is not usually necessary</u> to put any number on the check</strong>.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>Consider reducing the number of checks you write, by using electronic banking.</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">If you carry your driver’s license and credit cards, on your person, have them photocopied and keep that copy at home in case your purse or wallet is stolen or lost. This will help you immediately get in touch with the credit card company for cancellation and insure your information is protected.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">If you think you have <strong>problems with your credit or just want to be well informed</strong>, you can contact one of these three Credit Reporting Agencies Experian, Trans Union, Equifax, and get a credit report “<strong>free</strong>” once a year from each of them <strong>(spread it out and call one of them every four months and you’ll continually be informed)</strong>.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>Don’t carry your life in your purse or wallet</strong>. Minimize and carry only identification that is absolutely necessary on your person and insure that it is retained securely when you are not inside your home. Keep the other identification and information readily available in your home, in case it becomes necessary to use it (admission to hospitals, etc.).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">Whether you are a Senior, friend of a Senior, or family, get involved. <strong>See a crime, call the police and report the crime!</strong></span></li>

It is the 2nd most rapidly growing county in America of people 65 and over and is ranked #16 of the wealthiest counties in America!</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:5pt"><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>M</strong><strong>O</strong><strong>ST OF THE SENIOR VICTIMS OF FRAUD WILL NEVER RECOVER THEIR LOSSES. 32% Of ALL SENIOR FRAUD VICTIMS DIE WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF THE FRAUD BEING PERPETRATED AGAINST THEM AND ONLY</strong></span></p>

<p style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:22px"><strong>P</strong><strong>UBLIC AWARENESS OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM IS THE FIRST STEP IN FIGHTING BACK!</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:5.0pt"><span style="font-size:16px">The next few PSAC Updates will explore <strong>Fraud Against Senior Citizens </strong>and provide knowledge that can assist the reader, no matter what their age. Seniors are targets of scams (definition - a fraudulent or deceptive act), because they:</span></p>
<ul style="margin-left:40px"><li><span style="font-size:16px">Have a nest egg.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">They have a mortgage that is paid off.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">They have mutual funds that are coming due.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">They have investments that have grown over time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">They have cash readily available.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">They are reluctant to report the crime because of embarrassment, shame, or fear of retaliation (a false belief because once someone finds out the police are involved, they go underground and hide). Unfortunately, sometimes the person committing the fraud is a family member or someone they know and love and depend on, and they are afraid they will lose their relationship with the only person in their life, if they report them.</span></li>

<p style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:22px"><strong>P</strong><strong>rotecting Against I.D. Theft</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:5.0pt"><span style="font-size:16px">First and foremost <strong>PROTECT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER! </strong>Here are important ways which <strong><u>everyone</u></strong>, should both know about and practice every day:</span></p>
<ul style="margin-left:40px"><li><span style="font-size:16px">If you have a Medicare or Veterans Administration Card, the number on that card is your Social Security Number and when you go to an event or place where age is a qualifying factor and someone asks you to show your Medicare Card, etc., that person may be copying down your Social Security Number. You need to guard that number and put tape over it so no one can easily see it. <strong>That is how people steal your identity! </strong>Once criminals have your name and Social Security Number, they can get credit. <strong>UNLESS YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A MEDICAL FACILITY OR PHYSICIAN RELATIONSHIP, <strong><strong>T</strong><strong>H</strong><strong>E</strong><strong>R</strong><strong>E IS NO NEED TO SHOW YOUR MEDICARE OR VETERANS ADMINISTATION CARD – EVER!</strong></strong></strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">If you have your Social Security Number on your checks, order new checks without the number on them.</span>
<ul><li><span style="font-size:16px">Use your driver’s license number when asked for identification! That’s how bad checks are tracked by law enforcement agencies and using a driver’s license number for identification purposes, presents no problems to you.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">When you pay your credit card bills by check, don’t put your full credit card number on the check. You can, if necessary, put the last 4 digits on the check, <strong>however <u>it is not usually necessary</u> to put any number on the check</strong>.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>Consider reducing the number of checks you write, by using electronic banking.</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">If you carry your driver’s license and credit cards, on your person, have them photocopied and keep that copy at home in case your purse or wallet is stolen or lost. This will help you immediately get in touch with the credit card company for cancellation and insure your information is protected.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">If you think you have <strong>problems with your credit or just want to be well informed</strong>, you can contact one of these three Credit Reporting Agencies Experian, Trans Union, Equifax, and get a credit report “<strong>free</strong>” once a year from each of them <strong>(spread it out and call one of them every four months and you’ll continually be informed)</strong>.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>Don’t carry your life in your purse or wallet</strong>. Minimize and carry only identification that is absolutely necessary on your person and insure that it is retained securely when you are not inside your home. Keep the other identification and information readily available in your home, in case it becomes necessary to use it (admission to hospitals, etc.).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:16px">Whether you are a Senior, friend of a Senior, or family, get involved. <strong>See a crime, call the police and report the crime!</strong></span></li>

She is Lawrence Phipp's (Jr.,III?) niece. Her grandfather, Lawerence Phipps, Jr. (II?) was the last owner of the Mansion. She and her brother Gregory would like to tour the Mansion. Gave her the 'open times and suggested she let us know which day so we can meet with them. She and I have become phone buddies. She will bring a dvd made during the tour of the Mansion, barns, etc. by KCOT? (Channel 8?) (I am not clear on Jr. II and Jr. III.)</p>
<ul><li>Her mother and father lived in 'Marion's cottage' while the Chum Howe House was being built. She lived in the Chum Howe House from ages 2 - 15. 1937</li>
<li>Attended elementary - 2nd year of HS here. Mother - Mary Hart Father - Robert (Bob).</li>
<li>Mr. Phipps daughters from 1st wife: Joan (died), Mary Hart (Suzanne's mother) and Diana.</li>
<li>Cousin Judy.</li>
</ul><p>Ask Lawrence about the name they called him - Little Lawney (Little Law knee). Two brothers - Richmond, lives in Costa Rico and Henry (died).</p>
<p>Ask Lawrence if he knows anything about the following: Elaine Oakes? Phipps (they called her Laney) moved to Wyoming to be with her brother who they called Buddy. She donated the Surrey With The Fringe On Top to the Littleton Historical Society during their 100th Anniversary. 1946? (Or was it to the Cheyenne Museum? which I heard has carriages from the HR Mansion - how about a field trip there?)</p>
<p>Suzanne and other kids played in the attic, barns and dairy barns, bowling alley and tennis courts which also had a basket ball hoop (rattlesnakes in wild grass between Chum House House and Mansion). She could squeeze between rod iron fencing. There was a gold fish pond.</p>
<p>Also played in what we call the Carriage House (was a 4 car garage, doesn't know who built it). Cousins played in the Coach House (carriages) located south pass the bunk houses toward the windmill. They would climb on the carriages and tell ghost stories. </p>
<p>They had a structure of a wooden horse they would sit on to practice hitting a ball with a mallet (polo). There were gas pumps to fuel the cars. They would sit under the cotton woods and climb the cherry trees in the orchard. </p>
<p>There were beautiful dresses from the 1880's in the attic. They would dress up in them. They wore them to the dedication of the new school at Plum Creek. (Old school is under the Chatfield Dam.) </p>
<p>She suggested asking Lawrence about the pigeon operation, sheep, Dairy Association and what was found in the access at the west end (area the girls would not go). Ask Lawrence if he knows what happened to his father's journals, accounting books, etc., and Elaine's Doll House collection. Also, ask about mother's maiden name. Called her Twoney (2 knee). She married Senator Phipps (3rd wife) Sons = Alan and Jerry Owned Denver Broncos early 1960's. </p>
<p>There was a Denver Post article about the Phipps' family with a genealogy chart. Check the Denver Post archives. </p>
<p>Also, Suzanne mentioned asking if the ranch (where he lives) was part of the Cheese Ranch inherited from his dad? (It may have been a Cheese Ranch but surely not part of the area that is now HR !!! Elizabeth would be too far away. Maybe his father bought it and gave it to him. However, we don't want to get into a financial conflict between family members that seems to exist still. There was a lot of conflict over the sale of the Mansion.)</p>
<p>My questions: Sale of property from Kistler to Phipps. Why clock remained. Describe intercom system in mansion, how help got their personal supplies - did they go to Denver for personal supplies?, what did they call the help - servants?, when did it change from coal heating to what it is now? Did they call it a Mansion? What was it like living so far from a town, shops, etc.? </p>
<p>Gift of the Phipps' land to the Core of Engineers (Chat</p>
<p>field Dam) for tax credit. </p>
<p>Did he go to the Broncos games when he was young? Does he go now? Why/when did the Phipps sell the Broncos' team (if it was sold !!!). </p>
<p>[Note: Marion drove the school bus. There are stories written by elementary school kids (including Lawrence's story) about the Mansion in the container DJ has. It would be good to show it to Lawrence as well as the before/after album of pictures of the Mansion in the container. May bring back some memories/stories.]</p>

<strong>Failing Homestead – Douglas Investment Company</strong>
</p>
<p>The Failing family arrived and found this site in November 1876
in Douglas County.&nbsp; Henry Failing made his first Homestead
claim in 1882.&nbsp; Between 1882 and 1902, Henry, Joanna, and Etta
Failing would acquire at least 6 more homesteads.&nbsp; The initial
improvements included a 3-room log and frame house, stables, well,
granary, corrals and milk house.</p>
<p>In 1913 the property was deeded to the Douglas Investment
Company.&nbsp; The Colorado Corporation built up a dairy operation
on the site.&nbsp; The site grew to include the two-story New
England style clapboard house, tool shed, bunkhouse, barn, chicken
coup, cistern, windmill and a very interesting octagon shaped
silo.&nbsp; The silo was built in 1920 as evidenced by the date in
the base concrete and remains in good shape today.</p>

</p>
<p>Today the Failing Homestead is part of the Highlands Ranch
Community Association (HRCA) Backcountry open space.&nbsp; The
backcountry open space is home to Elk and many other animals.&nbsp;
The open space serves as a place for residents of Highlands Ranch to
get away from the city while providing a buffer to development
between Highlands Ranch and the towns of Castle Rock and Sedalia.</p>

<strong>Failing Homestead – Douglas Investment Company</strong>
</p>
<p>The Failing family arrived and found this site in November 1876
in Douglas County.&nbsp; Henry Failing made his first Homestead
claim in 1882.&nbsp; Between 1882 and 1902, Henry, Joanna, and Etta
Failing would acquire at least 6 more homesteads.&nbsp; The initial
improvements included a 3-room log and frame house, stables, well,
granary, corrals and milk house.</p>
<p>In 1913 the property was deeded to the Douglas Investment
Company.&nbsp; The Colorado Corporation built up a dairy operation
on the site.&nbsp; The site grew to include the two-story New
England style clapboard house, tool shed, bunkhouse, barn, chicken
coup, cistern, windmill and a very interesting octagon shaped
silo.&nbsp; The silo was built in 1920 as evidenced by the date in
the base concrete and remains in good shape today.</p>

</p>
<p>Today the Failing Homestead is part of the Highlands Ranch
Community Association (HRCA) Backcountry open space.&nbsp; The
backcountry open space is home to Elk and many other animals.&nbsp;
The open space serves as a place for residents of Highlands Ranch to
get away from the city while providing a buffer to development
between Highlands Ranch and the towns of Castle Rock and Sedalia.</p>

<p>Speakers: Lawrence Phipps III, G. Marvin Beeman, DVM<br />
Moderated by Meg Anderson and John Lake</p>
<p>Lawrence Phipps III, son of the last resident of the Mansion, related Highlands
Ranch and Mansion events of the 1970&#39;s, the decade of major change for this community.
This included Lawrence returning to run the cattle operations, the sudden illness
and death of his father, and the subsequent sale of the ranch to Marvin Davis, and
finally followed by the sale to Mission Viejo. </p>
<p>Lawrence discussed in detail how and why the ownership of the ranch had changed
hands. Starting with Waite Phillips giving the ranch to Frank Kistler as the commission
for a large oil and gas deal Kistler put together. Kistler&#39;s financial problems
in the early 30&#39;s, compounded by the drought Dust Bowl period eventually led to
Lawrence&#39;s father assuming Kistler&#39;s bank loans for the ranch in 1937. </p>
<p>Lawrence discussed how part of the ranch was condemned by the federal government
in the mid to late 60&#39;s to build Chatfield Dam for flood control, after a devastating
flood in 1965. Many of the ranch&#39;s hay meadows were located where Chatfield Reservoir
is now located.<br />
Details of the filming of the TV mini-series Centennial was related at length. Some
of the actors hired to play the cowboys had to be taught how to ride. Actors staying
in the bunk house and trailers amused themselves during the two-week shoot by early
morning gambling, and widespread drug dealing and usage.</p>
<p>Marvin Beeman, Joint Master and Huntsman (Honorary) of the Arapahoe Hunt Club,
related exciting tales of the hounds and the horses in Highlands<br />
Ranch, up to and including the modern day Arapahoe Hunt Club. The Hunt Club&#39;s origins
go back to the early 1900&#39;s at what is now the Denver Country Club. In the late
20&#39;s Lawrence&#39;s father asked fellow Hunt Club member and owner of Highlands Ranch,
Frank Kistler, if the hunts could occur in the wide expanses of Highlands Ranch.
Over the next 50 years hunts occurred during the winter months over the wide area
that is now known as the community of Highlands Ranch.</p>
<p>Marvin&#39;s father was hired in the early 30&#39;s by Lawrence&#39;s father to take care
of the foxhounds that had been acquired from England. Eventually as many of 100
hounds comprised the hunting pack.<br />
Stables for about 50 horses and supporting kennels for the hounds were constructed
in the area south of the current Highlands Ranch Backcountry where the Law Enforcement
Training Center now exists</p>
<p>Soon after the ranch was sold in the late 70&#39;s the regular winter hunts moved
out east to the former Lowry bombing range, where they still conduct the hunts.
Once a year the Arapahoe Hunt Club is allowed to hunt the Cherokee Ranch and Highlands
Ranch Community Association Backcountry area.</p>
<p>Marvin regaled the audience with stories of how he was chased by a buffalo around
Daniels Park, and once bitten by a coyote that they were hunting. This very special
program about life and events here in HR was moderated by Meg Anderson and John
Lake, HRHS members and Mansion Docents.</p>

<h2>Highlands Ranch Then And Now - Program Presentation - Part 2 of 2</h2>
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B07ofPTRqp26TURteDhCb2RKSzQ/preview" width="640" height="480"></iframe>
<p>Speakers: Lawrence Phipps III, G. Marvin Beeman, DVM<br />
Moderated by Meg Anderson and John Lake</p>
<p>Lawrence Phipps III, son of the last resident of the Mansion, related Highlands
Ranch and Mansion events of the 1970&#39;s, the decade of major change for this community.
This included Lawrence returning to run the cattle operations, the sudden illness
and death of his father, and the subsequent sale of the ranch to Marvin Davis, and
finally followed by the sale to Mission Viejo. </p>
<p>Lawrence discussed in detail how and why the ownership of the ranch had changed
hands. Starting with Waite Phillips giving the ranch to Frank Kistler as the commission
for a large oil and gas deal Kistler put together. Kistler&#39;s financial problems
in the early 30&#39;s, compounded by the drought Dust Bowl period eventually led to
Lawrence&#39;s father assuming Kistler&#39;s bank loans for the ranch in 1937. </p>
<p>Lawrence discussed how part of the ranch was condemned by the federal government
in the mid to late 60&#39;s to build Chatfield Dam for flood control, after a devastating
flood in 1965. Many of the ranch&#39;s hay meadows were located where Chatfield Reservoir
is now located.<br />
Details of the filming of the TV mini-series Centennial was related at length. Some
of the actors hired to play the cowboys had to be taught how to ride. Actors staying
in the bunk house and trailers amused themselves during the two-week shoot by early
morning gambling, and widespread drug dealing and usage.</p>
<p>Marvin Beeman, Joint Master and Huntsman (Honorary) of the Arapahoe Hunt Club,
related exciting tales of the hounds and the horses in Highlands<br />
Ranch, up to and including the modern day Arapahoe Hunt Club. The Hunt Club&#39;s origins
go back to the early 1900&#39;s at what is now the Denver Country Club. In the late
20&#39;s Lawrence&#39;s father asked fellow Hunt Club member and owner of Highlands Ranch,
Frank Kistler, if the hunts could occur in the wide expanses of Highlands Ranch.
Over the next 50 years hunts occurred during the winter months over the wide area
that is now known as the community of Highlands Ranch.</p>
<p>Marvin&#39;s father was hired in the early 30&#39;s by Lawrence&#39;s father to take care
of the foxhounds that had been acquired from England. Eventually as many of 100
hounds comprised the hunting pack.<br />
Stables for about 50 horses and supporting kennels for the hounds were constructed
in the area south of the current Highlands Ranch Backcountry where the Law Enforcement
Training Center now exists</p>
<p>Soon after the ranch was sold in the late 70&#39;s the regular winter hunts moved
out east to the former Lowry bombing range, where they still conduct the hunts.
Once a year the Arapahoe Hunt Club is allowed to hunt the Cherokee Ranch and Highlands
Ranch Community Association Backcountry area.</p>
<p>Marvin regaled the audience with stories of how he was chased by a buffalo around
Daniels Park, and once bitten by a coyote that they were hunting. This very special
program about life and events here in HR was moderated by Meg Anderson and John
Lake, HRHS members and Mansion Docents.</p>

Toepfer was collected on April 13, 2015 by the Highlands Ranch Historical Society in the course of their historical documentation of the Highlands Ranch area This interview is archived at the Douglas County History Research Center, a service of Douglas County Libraries, under accession #2015.016.</p>
<p>James G. Toepfer served as the first President of the Colorado Division of Mission Viejo, from 1978 until his retirement in the late 1980’s. Jim and his team were responsible for transforming this basically empty ranch land of 22,000 acres into the vibrant homeowner-centric community of Highlands Ranch. This oral history recounts many of the fascinating events, people, and decisions during those early days of development.</p>

Toepfer was collected on April 13, 2015 by the Highlands Ranch Historical Society in the course of their historical documentation of the Highlands Ranch area This interview is archived at the Douglas County History Research Center, a service of Douglas County Libraries, under accession #2015.016.</p>
<p>James G. Toepfer served as the first President of the Colorado Division of Mission Viejo, from 1978 until his retirement in the late 1980’s. Jim and his team were responsible for transforming this basically empty ranch land of 22,000 acres into the vibrant homeowner-centric community of Highlands Ranch. This oral history recounts many of the fascinating events, people, and decisions during those early days of development.</p>

<p>It looks like (superficially) if the Phipps Family or someone who worked for them were consulted it was usually “Highlands” and if it was someone else, it was “Highland” with the exception of long-time County Extension Agent Charlie Kirk, who provided a lot of the references.

Rhyolite rocks line its base. Its rich wood is cracked and split, its windows gone. Its skeleton has been worn down over the years.</p>
<p><img alt="Norma Grigs was pleased to see what was left of the barn silo. “The silo did exist,” she said. “I knew I wasn’t dreaming!” " class="image-large" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article/287/01.jpg?itok=8dQljKZB" style="height:320px; width:480px" /> <img alt="For the first time in 30 years, Norma Grigs got to see the original homestead in Highlands Ranch backcountry that her husband’s family owned. " class="image-large" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article/287/00.jpg?itok=9tv3vgTM" style="height:320px; width:480px" /> </p>
<p>But the decaying home means a lot to Norma Grigs, 87, who spent a recent afternoon walking around her late husband’s family property.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“The last time I was here,” says Grigs, “a bee stung Bill right on the forehead and he went into shock. I had to drag him back to the car.”</p>
<p>Bill Grigs, her husband, passed away four years ago. His father, Edgar, grew up on the homestead, which was part of the Grigs dairy farm that spanned more than 1,000 acres in what is now part of Highlands Ranch’s backcountry. The backcountry is 8,200 acres of open space that runs along Grigs and McArthur Ranch roads.</p>
<p>Grigs and her daughter, Jeannine Colley, were invited to see the homestead by Jamie Noebel, director of community relations and events for Highlands Ranch Community Association, and Nancy Lisenbigler, director of the Highlands Ranch Historical Society.</p>
<p>HRCA trail guide Carla Baca drove the group through the backcountry terrain, where they spotted wildlife of all kinds — coyotes, rabbits, a herd of elk.</p>
<p>“I’m just thrilled we could get in touch with you,” Noebel says to Grigs and her daughter.</p>
<p><img alt="Norma Grigs stands in front of her late husband’s family homestead in the Highlands Ranch backcountry. " class="image-large" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article/287/02.jpg?itok=k3cUZBCf" style="height:320px; width:480px" /> <img alt="Norma Grigs, 87, visited the original Grig family homestead in Highlands Ranch backcountry. It’d been over 30 years since she had seen the home. " class="image-large" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article/287/03.jpg?itok=0bIUL9wl" style="height:320px; width:480px" /></p>
<p>At the homestead, Grigs cherishes every moment — taking her her time, peering in each window as if she were visualizing what was once in the home.</p>
<p>The style of the house shows the family’s wealth — the wallpaper, leftover kitchen plumbing and the number of square-head nails that were hand-forged.</p>
<p>The chimney is unusually short, resting just above the roof.</p>
<p>“That would never meet code,” Grigs says, jokingly.</p>
<p>After a touring the home, she explores what’s left of the nearby barn and stables.</p>
<p>“Now,” Grigs asks, “where is the silo?”</p>
<p>A few moments later, she spots the remnants, a circular shape of bricks on the ground. Most of the structure is gone. Bill took her to the silo 30 years ago, she recalls, because that’s where “the kids” would throw parties.</p>
<p>Although not much looks the way Grigs remembers the homestead, each nail, slab of wood and block of clay seems to piece together like a puzzle of good memories.</p>
<p>“Gee,” she says, “it’s fun to come back.”</p>
<p>Remains of family dairy farm spark memories.</p>
<p>For the first time in 30 years, Norma Grigs got to see the original homestead in Highlands Ranch backcountry that her husband’s family owned.</p>

Rhyolite rocks line its base. Its rich wood is cracked and split, its windows gone. Its skeleton has been worn down over the years.</p>
<p><img alt="Norma Grigs was pleased to see what was left of the barn silo. “The silo did exist,” she said. “I knew I wasn’t dreaming!” " class="image-large" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article/287/01.jpg?itok=8dQljKZB" style="height:320px; width:480px" /> <img alt="For the first time in 30 years, Norma Grigs got to see the original homestead in Highlands Ranch backcountry that her husband’s family owned. " class="image-large" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article/287/00.jpg?itok=9tv3vgTM" style="height:320px; width:480px" /> </p>
<p>But the decaying home means a lot to Norma Grigs, 87, who spent a recent afternoon walking around her late husband’s family property.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“The last time I was here,” says Grigs, “a bee stung Bill right on the forehead and he went into shock. I had to drag him back to the car.”</p>
<p>Bill Grigs, her husband, passed away four years ago. His father, Edgar, grew up on the homestead, which was part of the Grigs dairy farm that spanned more than 1,000 acres in what is now part of Highlands Ranch’s backcountry. The backcountry is 8,200 acres of open space that runs along Grigs and McArthur Ranch roads.</p>
<p>Grigs and her daughter, Jeannine Colley, were invited to see the homestead by Jamie Noebel, director of community relations and events for Highlands Ranch Community Association, and Nancy Lisenbigler, director of the Highlands Ranch Historical Society.</p>
<p>HRCA trail guide Carla Baca drove the group through the backcountry terrain, where they spotted wildlife of all kinds — coyotes, rabbits, a herd of elk.</p>
<p>“I’m just thrilled we could get in touch with you,” Noebel says to Grigs and her daughter.</p>
<p><img alt="Norma Grigs stands in front of her late husband’s family homestead in the Highlands Ranch backcountry. " class="image-large" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article/287/02.jpg?itok=k3cUZBCf" style="height:320px; width:480px" /> <img alt="Norma Grigs, 87, visited the original Grig family homestead in Highlands Ranch backcountry. It’d been over 30 years since she had seen the home. " class="image-large" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article/287/03.jpg?itok=0bIUL9wl" style="height:320px; width:480px" /></p>
<p>At the homestead, Grigs cherishes every moment — taking her her time, peering in each window as if she were visualizing what was once in the home.</p>
<p>The style of the house shows the family’s wealth — the wallpaper, leftover kitchen plumbing and the number of square-head nails that were hand-forged.</p>
<p>The chimney is unusually short, resting just above the roof.</p>
<p>“That would never meet code,” Grigs says, jokingly.</p>
<p>After a touring the home, she explores what’s left of the nearby barn and stables.</p>
<p>“Now,” Grigs asks, “where is the silo?”</p>
<p>A few moments later, she spots the remnants, a circular shape of bricks on the ground. Most of the structure is gone. Bill took her to the silo 30 years ago, she recalls, because that’s where “the kids” would throw parties.</p>
<p>Although not much looks the way Grigs remembers the homestead, each nail, slab of wood and block of clay seems to piece together like a puzzle of good memories.</p>
<p>“Gee,” she says, “it’s fun to come back.”</p>
<p>Remains of family dairy farm spark memories.</p>
<p>For the first time in 30 years, Norma Grigs got to see the original homestead in Highlands Ranch backcountry that her husband’s family owned.</p>

<p>Yet Colorado was once a barrier.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="/sites/default/files/article/306/image_001.png" style="height:436px; width:657px" /></p>
<p>The first American sent here that the Rocky Mountains were unfit for civilization and would be anything more than an icy wasteland. The first of California-bound settlers arrived here several decades later and saw only "a big block wall/' as Colorado historian Bill Convery describes them.</p>
<p>So they simply went around the crest of the Continental Divide, bypassing what would become the highest state— until gold was discovered in 1848.</p>
<p>Following on the heels of the first prospectors came the first road-builders, men with a genius for seeing around corners and over canyon walls and a <span style="color:#757575">willingness </span>to hazard it all.</p>
<p>Over the next 150 years, they put the "high" in highway, building the wagon trails that became the paved roads that became the 21st century gateways to Colorado's Rocky Mountains.</p>
<p>"They had the vision and the willingness to go big or go home," Convery said. Among the roads they built:</p>
<p>MILLION DOLLAR HIGHWAY</p>
<p>It looks like something straight out of Indiana Jones. Jagged ravines, 600-foot drop- offs, roadside crosses, and terrifying turns around hairpin corners with no guard rails— all are standard on the Million Dollar Highway, a 23-mile thrill ride that twists and loops through some of the most astonishingly beautiful and frighteningly dangerous geography in North America. Carved out of the San Juan<br />Mountains in 1883 and paved 40 years later, the route made USA Today's 2013 list of the "World's 12 Most Dangerous Roads," a distinction it shares with the "Highway of Death" in Iraq and the "Death Road" in<br />Bolivia. "You need to pay attention to what you're doing up there," Convery said. Otto Mears understood that. A genius at finding paths through peaks in high rock canyons, the self-educated Russian immigrant built 400 miles of roads across inhospitable terrain in the San Juans, connecting once- isolated mining camps and towns with the rest of the West. "He had astonishing vision," Convery said. "The San Juan Mountains were the most rugged, most remote and most isolated part of the state. He opened them up for development."<br />Mears' most sensational accomplishment was the 12- mile wagon road from Ouray to Red Mountain, an ancient, collapsed volcano thick with veins of silver and gold.<br />Unable to build on the floor of Uncompahange Gorge because of potential flooding, he had to chisel a narrow shelf out of the face of a towering cliff. "It required not only engineering skills, but mountaineering skills," Convery said. From the rim of the canyon, workmen were dropped by rope—with dynamite equipped with unusually long fuses— then yanked back to safety before the dynamite ignited.<br />Ledge-walking pack animals were the only reliable means<br />of transporting supplies, a costly arrangement. Progress was slow and breathing hard, but Mears finished by year's end - to less than rave reviews.<br />"The wagon road is dangerous even to pedestrians... the grade is four part vertical and one part perpendicular," declared a local newspaper.<br />Yet the Million Dollar road proved an immediate success, despite avalanches that periodically swept wagons, horses and humans into the abyss.<br />In 1911, the first car bounced up the pass from Ouray, a 12- mile ordeal. A decade later, Colorado rebuilt the road for cars and rebranded it U.S. 550. To avoid perceived peril, some local residents shipped their cars by railroad to Durango. Even today tourists pull into<br />the Silverton's sheriff's office, begging for help piloting their cars to safer lowland territory. Along the way they pass a monument to Mears at Bear Creek Falls.<br /><br />"He was a brilliant man with an indomitable will," Convery said. "He was willing to take<br /><img src="/sites/default/files/article/306/image_003.jpg" style="height:341px; width:298px" /></p>

<p>INDEPENDENCE PASS</p>
<p>Independence Pass Road winds across the Continental Divide between Aspen and Leadville, classic views appear at every turn: gorgeous Aspen forests, swatches of Arctic tundra, distant peaks. Oh, and dizzying drop-offs, steep cliffs, nasty switchbacks ... "It's 'black- diamond driving,'" Convery said.<br />It's been that way since 1880, when the first burro packed with rich silver ore made the journey from current-day Aspen to Leadville's smelters.<br />Today, 38-mile Independence Pass Road, America's highest paved pass at 12,095 feet is impassable in winter because of harsh weather.<br />"There's no margin for error," said author Steve Voynick, a local historian.<br />In the old days, silver mattered more.<br />"They had 25-man crews up there with shovels to keep it clear. They slept in a big shed," Voynick said.<br />Even on mild days, single- file wagons often labored through narrow trenches between eight-foot walls of snow, with inches to spare. A trip might take days.<br />The mud season was another headache. "Up to one's knees," the Leadville Chronicle reported.<br />The pace picked up in summer, when stagecoaches came roaring around blind turns at peak speed. Brakes often gave way. If a horse in a team of six fell, he would be dragged hundreds of feet before the coach or freight wagon came to a stop.<br />"It had to be horrid on horses," Voynick said. "They were incredibly heavy loads— six to eight tons. Horses ran until they were so weak they fell. Then they were pushed to the side.

"This is what Colorado is all about—right here on this road," Voynick said.</p>
<p>PIKES PEAK HIGHWAY</p>
<p>On an August morning in 1901, two men climbed into a two-cylinder Locomobile and rattled up the side of Pikes Peak. </p>
<p>In three hours, they covered just two miles on an abandoned carriage road, nearly destroying their radiator on the way to the top. On the way down, the Locomobile went airborne, landing with brakes jammed and engine locked in reverse. "We weren't altogether certain we could stop," the driver said after the first successful ascent of Pikes Peak in a car.<br />The automobile age had arrived, coughing and sputtering, in the Colorado high country. Down in Colorado Springs, Spencer Penrose was making notes. Realizing the role cars would play in travel, the flamboyant mineral tycoon tapped into the newfound mobility. In 1916, he built a dirt road to the summit of America's most famous mountain—the highest thoroughfare in the world at the time—and decided to celebrate his achievement with a race. Thus began the Pikes Peak Auto Hill Climb, the country's second-oldest motor race after the Indianapolis 500. "Penrose was always a brilliant marketer more than anything else," said Leah Davis Witherow, curator of history at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. "He builds the road, creates a race to advertise the road, and opens up travel opportunities to a whole new generation of Americans and arguably people around the world. "He had an incredibly modern sensibility. The idea you could drive up what was essentially a race track was thrilling to<br />people, especially people from the flat Midwest." </p>
<p>In a bit of historical irony, Zebulon Pike, leader of an Army survey party, never made it to the top of the mountain that bears his name. "I believe that no human being could have ascended to that pinnacle." Only Japan's Mount Fuji draws more visitors today than Pikes Peak, which welcomes a half- million highway users a year. The unconquerable mountain has been hiked over, slept on, landed on, flown over, and raced up at 100 mph.</p>
<p>In 1929, a man pushed a peanut up the mountain with his nose, reaching the summit three weeks after he began. In<br />1950, a man pushed a 120- pound wheelbarrow to the top in 103 hours, 35 minutes.<br />Penrose himself joined the parade. He entered his personal Fierce-Arrow in the Hill Climb and saw his team finish ninth in the open class. "He was such a fantastic,<br />larger-than-life character," Convery said.

<p>TRAIL RIDGE ROAD</p>

"It's just between you and the universe up there.<br />"Trail Ridge Road is the soul of Colorado."<br />Constructed from 1929 to 1932, Trail Ridge was considered an engineering marvel at the time. Today it still is. From the start, most mountain roads were built in valleys to avoid the cost and hardship of going over the top. Engineers always aimed higher in Rocky Mountain National Park, starting in 1916 with the construction of the original Fall River Trail route. From the day it opened in 1920, the Park Service struggled to keep Fall River Road open.<br />"Fall River was steep, rocky, tricky," Law said. "It was so tight at some point that you had to make 3-point turns around corners, like backing into a<br />were made for Trail Ridge Road.

"It would've been so easy to carve a highway through that would have ruined the natural landscape," Convery said.<br />Instead, these late 20th- century mountain road-builders erected more than 40 bridges and viaducts spanning more than six miles, with one side elevated to hug the canyon<br />walls. They built terrace walls so that not as much rock had to be blasted out. They sculpted and stained cut walls so that they would appear natural, reseeded all the native plants, and captured and relocated all the bighorn sheep so that they wouldn't be disturbed during construction.<br />"The engineering required to build a highway that actually harmonizes with the scenery was phenomenal," Convery said.<br />In 1992 more than 1,500 people gathered for the ribbon- cutting ceremony in the 4,000- foot-long Hanging Tunnels. Nearly 110 years earlier, Otto Mears had punched through the San Juan Mountains with a wagon road that was an engineering marvel of its time—illustrating the great chasm between the technology of that day and of ours.</p>
<p>MOUNT EVANS HIGHWAY</p>
<p>By the time Denver Mayor Robert Speer came to power in 1904, Mount Evans was already the stuff of folklore. Two decades before, American landscape painter Albert Bierstadt had used his sketches of the 14,264 foot-peak as inspiration for Storm in the Rockies—a class.: century work that changed the way Americans viewed the Rocky Mountains.<br />"People didn't believe some :&gt;: the original descriptions abcin how spectacular and colorful arc jagged the Rockies were." au:r.: - and University of Colorado-Der.-.* history professor Tom Noel said "When they saw this painting. ':. made them real. It's probably the most famous painting ever done about Colorado."<br />Speer gazed up at the same tableau and saw something else-highway running to the summi r-vision became reality in 1930 wiJ the completion of the Mount Erai Highway, the highest paved road : North America and a national fc scenic byway. "Speer wanted every Denver.*.; :: enjoy the benefits of living so near the mountains," Convery said. "He aggressively acquired mountain parks and built roads in those parks to connect city dwellers with the mountain landscape."<br />Today, the road is an alpinist's dream and an acrophobe's nightmare. It curves around the shoulders of Colorado's 14th highest peak without a protection rail, hanging<br />precariously over steep cliffs that drop off several hundred feet. Then it climbs into barren tundra that features Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and gnarled 1,000-year old bristlecone pine—among the oldest organisms on earth. The journey ends in a parking area at 14,155 feet, a short stroll from the summit, 62 miles west of Denver.<br />In 1915, the Colorado Division of Agriculture made Speer's dream drive part of the proposed Peak to Peak Highway, which was to connect Longs Peak to Pikes Peak. The project was abandoned, however, and<br />workmen started building a road to Mount Evans' Echo Lake—a prelude to the staggering difficulties they would face near the top.<br />"Road building jobs are pretty , much the same wherever located," a 1920s Popular Mechanics story reported. "But this is a weird bare world."<br />If the altitude didn't take workmen's breath away, the danger did. Men and machines were pulled up to higher elevations by ropes. Tons of dynamite were gingerly hauled to the construction sites to<br />blast away mammoth sections of rock. Log mats were laid to provide traction for threaded vehicles.<br />Work literally took place in the clouds. High winds razed work camps and picked up work tools, flinging them into valleys. Dynamite exploded at the slightest jar. Some workers lost their sense of direction in dense fog and wandered.<br />"It's a hard place to put a shovel," C.F. Capes, head of construction, told Western Builder magazine.<br />In the end, however, Capes' men matched Speer's vision: The road ended at 14,130 feet—20 feet higher than the terminus of Pikes Peak Highway.<br />"Speer knew if Denver didn't do this, nobody else would," Noel said.

<p>Yet Colorado was once a barrier.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="/sites/default/files/article/306/image_001.png" style="height:436px; width:657px" /></p>
<p>The first American sent here that the Rocky Mountains were unfit for civilization and would be anything more than an icy wasteland. The first of California-bound settlers arrived here several decades later and saw only "a big block wall/' as Colorado historian Bill Convery describes them.</p>
<p>So they simply went around the crest of the Continental Divide, bypassing what would become the highest state— until gold was discovered in 1848.</p>
<p>Following on the heels of the first prospectors came the first road-builders, men with a genius for seeing around corners and over canyon walls and a <span style="color:#757575">willingness </span>to hazard it all.</p>
<p>Over the next 150 years, they put the "high" in highway, building the wagon trails that became the paved roads that became the 21st century gateways to Colorado's Rocky Mountains.</p>
<p>"They had the vision and the willingness to go big or go home," Convery said. Among the roads they built:</p>
<p>MILLION DOLLAR HIGHWAY</p>
<p>It looks like something straight out of Indiana Jones. Jagged ravines, 600-foot drop- offs, roadside crosses, and terrifying turns around hairpin corners with no guard rails— all are standard on the Million Dollar Highway, a 23-mile thrill ride that twists and loops through some of the most astonishingly beautiful and frighteningly dangerous geography in North America. Carved out of the San Juan<br />Mountains in 1883 and paved 40 years later, the route made USA Today's 2013 list of the "World's 12 Most Dangerous Roads," a distinction it shares with the "Highway of Death" in Iraq and the "Death Road" in<br />Bolivia. "You need to pay attention to what you're doing up there," Convery said. Otto Mears understood that. A genius at finding paths through peaks in high rock canyons, the self-educated Russian immigrant built 400 miles of roads across inhospitable terrain in the San Juans, connecting once- isolated mining camps and towns with the rest of the West. "He had astonishing vision," Convery said. "The San Juan Mountains were the most rugged, most remote and most isolated part of the state. He opened them up for development."<br />Mears' most sensational accomplishment was the 12- mile wagon road from Ouray to Red Mountain, an ancient, collapsed volcano thick with veins of silver and gold.<br />Unable to build on the floor of Uncompahange Gorge because of potential flooding, he had to chisel a narrow shelf out of the face of a towering cliff. "It required not only engineering skills, but mountaineering skills," Convery said. From the rim of the canyon, workmen were dropped by rope—with dynamite equipped with unusually long fuses— then yanked back to safety before the dynamite ignited.<br />Ledge-walking pack animals were the only reliable means<br />of transporting supplies, a costly arrangement. Progress was slow and breathing hard, but Mears finished by year's end - to less than rave reviews.<br />"The wagon road is dangerous even to pedestrians... the grade is four part vertical and one part perpendicular," declared a local newspaper.<br />Yet the Million Dollar road proved an immediate success, despite avalanches that periodically swept wagons, horses and humans into the abyss.<br />In 1911, the first car bounced up the pass from Ouray, a 12- mile ordeal. A decade later, Colorado rebuilt the road for cars and rebranded it U.S. 550. To avoid perceived peril, some local residents shipped their cars by railroad to Durango. Even today tourists pull into<br />the Silverton's sheriff's office, begging for help piloting their cars to safer lowland territory. Along the way they pass a monument to Mears at Bear Creek Falls.<br /><br />"He was a brilliant man with an indomitable will," Convery said. "He was willing to take<br /><img src="/sites/default/files/article/306/image_003.jpg" style="height:341px; width:298px" /></p>

<p>INDEPENDENCE PASS</p>
<p>Independence Pass Road winds across the Continental Divide between Aspen and Leadville, classic views appear at every turn: gorgeous Aspen forests, swatches of Arctic tundra, distant peaks. Oh, and dizzying drop-offs, steep cliffs, nasty switchbacks ... "It's 'black- diamond driving,'" Convery said.<br />It's been that way since 1880, when the first burro packed with rich silver ore made the journey from current-day Aspen to Leadville's smelters.<br />Today, 38-mile Independence Pass Road, America's highest paved pass at 12,095 feet is impassable in winter because of harsh weather.<br />"There's no margin for error," said author Steve Voynick, a local historian.<br />In the old days, silver mattered more.<br />"They had 25-man crews up there with shovels to keep it clear. They slept in a big shed," Voynick said.<br />Even on mild days, single- file wagons often labored through narrow trenches between eight-foot walls of snow, with inches to spare. A trip might take days.<br />The mud season was another headache. "Up to one's knees," the Leadville Chronicle reported.<br />The pace picked up in summer, when stagecoaches came roaring around blind turns at peak speed. Brakes often gave way. If a horse in a team of six fell, he would be dragged hundreds of feet before the coach or freight wagon came to a stop.<br />"It had to be horrid on horses," Voynick said. "They were incredibly heavy loads— six to eight tons. Horses ran until they were so weak they fell. Then they were pushed to the side. There were supposedly piles of bones all over the place."<br />Animals weren't the only casualties. One day an out-of- control stage teetered along the edge while the driver fought for control. "He was unable, with all his dexterity to (succeed) ... the (back) wheels went over, taking with them the covered box and nine passengers over the cliff four hundred feet," reported the Leadville Chronicle.<br />The arrival of railways in 1887 spelled the end of the road— until autos rolled onto the scene.

They sculpted and stained cut walls so that they would appear natural, reseeded all the native plants, and captured and relocated all the bighorn sheep so that they wouldn't be disturbed during construction.<br />"The engineering required to build a highway that actually harmonizes with the scenery was phenomenal," Convery said.<br />In 1992 more than 1,500 people gathered for the ribbon- cutting ceremony in the 4,000- foot-long Hanging Tunnels. Nearly 110 years earlier, Otto Mears had punched through the San Juan Mountains with a wagon road that was an engineering marvel of its time—illustrating the great chasm between the technology of that day and of ours.</p>
<p>MOUNT EVANS HIGHWAY</p>
<p>By the time Denver Mayor Robert Speer came to power in 1904, Mount Evans was already the stuff of folklore. Two decades before, American landscape painter Albert Bierstadt had used his sketches of the 14,264 foot-peak as inspiration for Storm in the Rockies—a class.: century work that changed the way Americans viewed the Rocky Mountains.<br />"People didn't believe some :&gt;: the original descriptions abcin how spectacular and colorful arc jagged the Rockies were." au:r.: - and University of Colorado-Der.-.* history professor Tom Noel said "When they saw this painting. ':. made them real. It's probably the most famous painting ever done about Colorado."<br />Speer gazed up at the same tableau and saw something else-highway running to the summi r-vision became reality in 1930 wiJ the completion of the Mount Erai Highway, the highest paved road : North America and a national fc scenic byway. "Speer wanted every Denver.*.; :: enjoy the benefits of living so near the mountains," Convery said. "He aggressively acquired mountain parks and built roads in those parks to connect city dwellers with the mountain landscape."<br />Today, the road is an alpinist's dream and an acrophobe's nightmare. It curves around the shoulders of Colorado's 14th highest peak without a protection rail, hanging<br />precariously over steep cliffs that drop off several hundred feet. Then it climbs into barren tundra that features Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and gnarled 1,000-year old bristlecone pine—among the oldest organisms on earth. The journey ends in a parking area at 14,155 feet, a short stroll from the summit, 62 miles west of Denver.<br />In 1915, the Colorado Division of Agriculture made Speer's dream drive part of the proposed Peak to Peak Highway, which was to connect Longs Peak to Pikes Peak. The project was abandoned, however, and<br />workmen started building a road to Mount Evans' Echo Lake—a prelude to the staggering difficulties they would face near the top.<br />"Road building jobs are pretty , much the same wherever located," a 1920s Popular Mechanics story reported. "But this is a weird bare world."<br />If the altitude didn't take workmen's breath away, the danger did. Men and machines were pulled up to higher elevations by ropes. Tons of dynamite were gingerly hauled to the construction sites to<br />blast away mammoth sections of rock. Log mats were laid to provide traction for threaded vehicles.<br />Work literally took place in the clouds. High winds razed work camps and picked up work tools, flinging them into valleys. Dynamite exploded at the slightest jar. Some workers lost their sense of direction in dense fog and wandered.<br />"It's a hard place to put a shovel," C.F. Capes, head of construction, told Western Builder magazine.<br />In the end, however, Capes' men matched Speer's vision: The road ended at 14,130 feet—20 feet higher than the terminus of Pikes Peak Highway.<br />"Speer knew if Denver didn't do this, nobody else would," Noel said.
